This is one of those times where either PGP/GPG or these digital ID things
in Outlook/Outlook Express would come in handy.  Not that I would expect
normal users to bother to check to see if the sig is legit or not,
considering these are the same people who seem to have no problem opening
a
zip file and running an exe in it (ala MiMail).

Some MUAs automatically verify signatures before allowing the user to view
the message...
